II was Warren's intention TO remain
at home during the summer, and early
In the fall seek location to enter into
the practice of his profession. 1t was
now the busy season for farmers, and
he did not meet many Of his former
friends and acquaintance. The second
Sunday after his return was the day for
preaching in the Sandy Fork school
house. The Methodist had taken this
in one of their circuits, and sent
Rev. Allen Blaze, famous gospel

The schoOl-house was about three
fourths of mile from Mr.. Stuart's and
down the creek known rs Sandy Fork

road to it led through the forest. The

audiences were always large. Not

THE DEADLY CROCODILE.

Explorer Stanley Describes How IL AT
tscks and Destroys Its Victims
THE most dangerous savage foes we
have to fear" said Stanley, the exc
plorer, are the crocodile, the hippopot-
anus and the buffalo. We lost five
men during my last visit to the Congo
from these animals; three were killed
by crocodiles, one by a hippopotamus
and one by buffalo. There are large
numbers Of the hippopotami along the
e Congo and its tributaries, and thou
sands upon thousands of crocodiles.
The latter are by far the most insidious
foes we have because they are so silent
and so swift. You see a man bathing
in the river" said Mr.. Stanley, with
one of his graphic touches; ''he is
standing near the shore, laughing at
you, perhaps, laughing in the keen en-
joyment of his bath; suddenly he falls
over and you see him no more. A croc-
odile has approached unseen, has
struck him n blow with It's tail that
knocks him over and he is instantly
seized and carried of. Or, IL may be
that the man is swimming; he is totally
unconscious of danger; there is nothing
to stir tremor of apprehension; but
there, in deep water, under the shadow
of that rock, or hidden beneath the
shelter Of the tree yonder is hugo
crocodile. 1t has spotted the swimmer,
and is watching its opportunity. The
swimmer approaches, he is seized by
the leg and dragged under and he
knows no more! A bubble or two in
dicates the place where he has gone
down, and that is all.-LOndon Iele-

CHAPTER III.
AT CHURCH-THE MoONLTr WALK.


Warren Stuart regarded the girl as a
commonplace mOrta., and yet there
was something little more than COM
mon about her. He seldom saw her,
save at mealtime, when she came in to
wait upon the table. She knew serv-
ants place, and kept it. She was mod
est almost to shyncss, and seldom spoke,
never unless compelled to do so. Com
monplace as he"supposed her to be, he
one day thought he discerned poetic
sadness in the large, dark blue eye,
as she stood like one in reverie. The
kitchen work at Stuart's was no very
small matter, and it required all her
time and energy to accomplish her
part. She was nearly always busy, and
frequently when he saw that sad worn
face, and tired mttie form, he felt q
sympathy for her.
One evening after the days work
was done, ne was passing the kitchen
where Helen would insist on staying,
and heard her engaged in an animated
conversation with her brother. II was
a simple conversation such rs a child
might understand about Heaven. Lit
tie Amos was asking his sister II he
should be relieved Of his iniirmities
there. and whether or not he would see
his mothos and father. The answers of
the girl were low and sweet, assuring
,h4 little cripple that he would suffer no
pain there, and would meet those Who
had gone before. Simple and common
place as the conversation was, II had
something about IL which aaecIed War

of having two sets Of plants, one COM

Warren consented to 90, and the
next morning the horses were hitched

alightcd from the wagon in front of the
schoOl-hOusc. Mr.. Arnold dropped the

with sandy hair and whiSkers, which
were only OH his chin, and cropped
short. .-

He was now surrounded by the old
men and young men of the neighbour
hood, each extending to him kindly
greeting.
Warren was sort of favOrite in
the neighborhOod, and all were glad to
see him back. Mrs. Arnold, and even
her daughter, Miss Halle, sprightly
little creature with somewhat florid
complexion and hair, and a face con-
siderably freckled, came to him and
insisted so earnestly that he should go
home with them for dinner that he
could not refuse. There was to be
preaching at night and he could go
home with his parents then, so after
the sermon was over he got into Mr.
Arnold's carriage and sat down by the
side of Miss Halle, whom he had known
since childhood. Miss Halle did her
best in her shallow way to entertain
him, but conversation on beauX and
dress has but little attraction for

college smell upon them.

This was the weakest of follies, he

good as an angel, and possessed the
most leyeablc qualities of any person

at the idea of his marrying hired girl.
This pride was not dead, and would
have 10 be overcome before he could
be induced to propose marriage to
Helen but it was numbed and might
be worn down by ally Sudden torrent Of
feeling.
The next morning he was feeling
dull and heavy. His brothers had long
been up, and were feeding and curry
ing their horses, while their breakfast |
was preparing. The minister and his
wife were going to Newton that morn
ing and Warren was the person selected |
to take them.

the rear seat. Pete. having asked pardon
and got the permission To light his pipe, |
was enjoying smoke during the morn
ing ride.
The road to Newton was through
rich farming country. Sandy Fork
was the most fertile portion Of the
State. On this delightful spring morn
ing every thing seemed fresh and lovely. |
The whistle Of the plow-boy and songs
of the birds made the air melodious.
The fields, lately plowed, were black in
the richness of their soil, the winter
wheat and oats made them look like
green canvas paintings. No picture
could express the loveliness of the
morning, for here nearly all the senses
were permitted to drink in the glories
Of natures loveliness.
